There are five episodes in Love. The one from Italy is directed by Renzo (son of Roberto) Rossellini, the one from Germany by Marcel (son of Max) Ophuls, the one from Japan by Novelist Shintaro ("The Japanese Franç01s Sagan") Ishihara, the one from Poland by Andrzej (Ashes and Diamonds) Wajda.

With his toes seemingly reading a tightrope in faltering braille, he teeters across the high wire, but only after the audience is made to know that courage can be the vanity of cowards...
...Marceau's Bip character sports a dented stovepipe hat. In The Tramp's hand was a flower; from Bip's hat sprouts a rose. Both share the knowledge that no matter how funny the pratfall, the heart is where the hurt is. In nursing that hurt, Marcel Marceau shows himself to be a stylish musician of motion, an exciting architect of empty space, an eloquent poet of silence...
